yes...

i went camping this week. it was a blast. it was a women and children trip, and we kept everything super simple... perfect. the grainy photos above are all i have. i only took the camera out for just a couple minutes one night. i'll give you a quick run down though and then we'll get to the giveaway :) our campsite was right next to a playground... as in... i could see the playground when i was sitting around the fire. there were so many kids... my own children had an absolute blast. they exchanged phone numbers and addresses with kids from all over... colorado and nevado are the two that i remember. we also had a fantastic beach day... and i forgot the sunscreen, so we all left with a sunburn... ouch! everyone is healing quite quickly though... i think i will be the only one to peel. all in all it was a fantastic trip. the perfect way to start the summer. my kids are at such wonderful ages for this sort of thing now... i am really looking forward to more adventures of this kind throughout the season.

now... let's get to the giveaway...

i like to do things with my hands... so i cut up a bunch of little paper squares (all the same size)... wrote all the names down and folded them up... put them in a bowl... and had my three year old select a name...
